Who is Charles De Ketelaere? And how useful would he actually be to AC Milan?
Charles De Ketelaere is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Belgian Pro League club Club Brugge and the Belgium national team.
Age ▶️ 21
Height ▶️ 1.91m
Role ▶️ Attacking Midfielder
Nationality ▶️ Belgium 🇧🇪
De Ketelaere is a versatile attacking player. While predominantly being a striker, particularly throughout his youth career, De Ketelaere is very good on the left wing or as a #10. But what is unique about him is that he can be deployed in every attacking position.
According to WhoScored.com, Charles Ketelaere’s strengths are Key passes, Dribbling, Holding on the ball & Defensive contributions. His style of play is very similar to that of De Bruyne.
This season, Charles De Ketelaere has managed to score 14 goals and bag 7 assists in 33 matches. Making him the most valuable player in the Belgian Pro League, currently valued at €30 Million.
He might usually be recognised as a forward, Dee Ketelaere drifts in between the lines often as can be seen from his heat map. De Ketelaere quite visibly likes to drift in from the flanks more often than from central areas and often attacks opposition fullbacks in transition.
When playing upfront, de Ketelaere prefers to drop deeper and play in between the lines to exploit defenses: as a quiet but effective interpreter of space similar to the likes of Bayern Munich’s Thomas Müller.
De Ketelaere ranks in the 95th percentile for pressures averaging 20.73 per 90 minutes, while also ranking in the 96th percentile for ball recoveries with 5.84 per game. Which entirely matches Pioli’s pressing system!
Charles’ ability as a fox in the box is not consistent enough at this point in time similar to that of Brahim Diaz, but there have been occasional flashes in his game: the young Belgian can recognizes where a loose ball is falling in the box, and then strikes it home with ease.
Besides his long list of impressive attributes, young de Ketelaere has also racked up priceless experience in the Champions League: providing him with plenty of exposure against some of the biggest names in European football right now.
Here is a clip of how both of our targets were “toy-ing” around with PSG’s defense. 👇👇👇
How would Charles fit in Pioli’s system? Primarily Charles De Ketelaere, will play in the same position that is of Brahim Diaz. The #10 role in Pioli’s system. Not only will he be able to play on both flanks, but he can also play upfront incase of emergencies.
With the qualities Charles already has, he will be an amazing addition to the #10 role in Pioli’s system. Having a tall frame, & various strong defensive attributes. There is no surprise Charles will be an amazing addition to AC Milan.
Reminder that at just 20 years old, de Ketelaere offers more experience at the highest level than many of his much older peers – an intangible that is to be considered when analysing him.
Why will he be good for AC Milan? As we saw towards the end of the season, Pioli slowly might shift his 4231 into a 433. Because it is easier to adapt modern footballing tactics with a 433 formation.
Charles has attributes such as Muller’s or De Bruyne’s, which can applied when playing as a Center-midfielder next to Tonali, Bennacer, Yacine Adli & Renato Sanches. This will take Pioli’s midfield to the next level. Through diversity & intelligence.
Not only will Charles De Ketelaere add a sense of diversity to Pioli’s side, but it will also add a very intelligent player to AC Milan. A player to watch for. Hopefully he ends up in AC Milan & we get a bright future with him! #ForzaMilan ❤️🖤

ScribeMilan is an account I started in order to bring in new knowledge and information regarding AC Milan, whether it was through threads, analysis, or even mercato talk. Due to unfortunate circumstances I was not able to continue producing new content…
My account has strayed from what I intended to be a productive account producing knowledge and information to a more banter form of an account… for that reason I have decided to turn my account fully professional, and my tweets will only be for productive reasons.
I will also note that content I will be posting is purely based on my knowledge of football analysis, and the content I will be posting will be mainly in English but I would not rule out other languages such as Arabic. Finally, I apologize for all the people I unfollowed…
